Image loading in a loop

Question

It only prints the image on the first loop... then after that, it doesnt manage to load the image on to the panel, for it to be able to print.
Also, is it possible to directly send an image to the printer, instead of doing like what Im doing now (load the picture into the panel, and then send the panel to the printer for printing)?

(load the picture into the panel, and then send the panel to the printer for printing)?Sure it's possible. Any class that implements Printable is printable, by definition!
